| the tarfile module uses normpath() to store the file name in the archive. Under win32 this results in pathes with backslashes and possible a leading "\". This confuses the unix tar command. I suppose the following commands instead of just normpath(): path = normpath (path) path = path.replace ("\\", "/") path = path.lstrip ("/") | ||

| tarfile already attempts to manage backslashes well, using os.path.normpath(path).replace(os.sep, "/") Can you provide a small script demonstrating the failure? | ||

| Sorry, I was using an derived class of TarFile and didn't realize that tarfile has defined its own normpath() function. When using tarfile.normpath() in my class it is working, too. |
